State Park InformationWilliam M. Tugman State Park | | (No Ratings Yet) | Unknown | Unknown, Oregon | United States | Unknown | Unknown | | Description | Despite its close proximity to Highway 101, Tugman State Park is relatively unknown — a private hideaway on the wondrous south coast. Situated on Eel Lake near the community of Lakeside, Tugman offers campsites with electric/water hookups tucked away in a mature stand of shore pines.
Tugman is centrally located for visitors wishing to explore the Oregon coast from Reedsport to Coos Bay. The famous Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is less than a mile away.
Eel Lake The waters of Eel Lake are outstanding for fishing, swimming, canoeing, sailing and boating. A trail around the south end of the lake allows hikers to get away from the developed area of the park and explore the lake's many inlets. Maybe you'll catch glimpses of osprey, crane, eagle, deer and other forest creatures as you walk through forests of spruce, cedar, fir, and alder.
The lake is brimming with fishing opportunities. The brush-lined shore, steep drop-off and underwater structure makes it the perfect lake for a bass boat and bass fishing. The lake has a good population of largemouth bass (some running up to five pounds), and other fish species include crappie, rainbow trout (which are stocked), steelhead, and coho salmon. There is a fully-accessible fishing dock at the day-use area near the boat ramp. Trout and bass are often caught from the dock.
Fishing regulations apply to Eel Lake. Check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife southwest zone web page for the most current information and check posted signs at the boat launch | | | | Park Stats | Campgrounds: 3 | Campsites: 131 | Photos: 0 | Reviews: 0 | Views: 157 | Likes: 0 |
